Our Fees
Our Centre is open for 48 weeks per year from January to December.
The cost is $6.50 each hour or part of each hour.
​
Children aged 3 to 6 years old can receive 20 ECE funding for up to 6 hour per day to a maximum of 20 hours per week. We ask for an optional payment of $1.50 for each of these hours to help offset the cost of colour printing for the profile books and sun screen etc.
​
Ministry of Social Development (WINZ) childcare subsidies are available to many of our families, the payments come directly to the centre and will be deducted from the child’s weekly fees. We can help you apply for a subsidy.
​
Your child’s place on the roll may be retained for up to three weeks on an advance payment of a retainer of 50% of the current fees to enable families to have holidays together or should your child need to have an operation etc.
​
Please note that whilst we don't charge a retainer for 3 of the 4 weeks that we are closed over Christmas we do still charge for the stat days if your child would normally be attending on that day.
Statutory holidays and other absent days will incur full payment. A late fee of $10.00 per each 15 minutes will be charged after 5:00 pm.
